Summary:Intelligence officer John Tavner (Michael Dorman) takes a job at Milwaukee's McMillan Industrial Piping to position himself to travel overseas to stop Iran from restarting its nuclear program in this dramedy from Steven Conrad.

It's a quirky, fun pickle of a rollercoaster ride. This is not your father's spy series. Conrad shifts tones seamlessly and the performances are subtly sublime. If they ever create an awards show that celebrates the best of television, "Patriot" should be called the best show of all times.

When every new show is spelling out the plot, Amazon's new dramedy/thriller gives us snippets as to what's going on in Steven Conrad's "Patriot".

Lot's of fun, it's hard not to love watching Michael Dorman's broody John Tavner, Michael Chernus as his congressman/brother Edward and Terry O'Quinn as the ringleader/father who oversees this circus of intrigue, near scrapes and "what else is going wrong now!" moments. The run-down urban environs of Milwaukee and old world backdrops of Luxemborg play supporting roles in this always entertaining, must see surprise February hit!…Expand

This is the best, most original show I've seen in a very long time. I don't remember a show that reminded me of the Coen brothers, Wes Anderson, and Martin McDonagh as this one, and it is impeccably fresh.

I love this show so much I created an account just to help offset the totally unjustified negative reviews of the formal "critics" this site aggregates.

A spy show that doesn't take itself seriously and manages to depict, simultaneously, the banality, glory and despondence of the "spy" business and those in it. Absolutely wonderful.…Expand

Quirky, visually arresting, character-driven, true ensemble acting... and maybe the most luminously beautiful police detective ever (as played by Aliette Opheim.) That should tip the scales, and for me these elements surely do. I have shared scenes with students for their sheer originality.Quirky, visually arresting, character-driven, true ensemble acting... and maybe the most luminously beautiful police detective ever (as played by Aliette Opheim.) That should tip the scales, and for me these elements surely do. I have shared scenes with students for their sheer originality. The "stairs" scene in Episode 4 is worth a few replays! Surprises abound - some borderline disturbing. But the understated "action" of this series eclipses the cookie-cutter scenes we've all already gorged upon in dozens of other series or films.…Expand
